It used to be the case that students left China to study abroad. This continues, but a new trend is that students are traveling to China to study.

This would over time be accompanied by increased enrollments in Chinese online learning classes. This poses a challenge to countries like Britain and Australia who have developed an overseas education market. Image: Wikipedia. Related: cultural experience is a primary motivator of overseas study.
